I'd rather be overweight because I know a few people who suffer from thyroid issues who have to be on medicine for the rest of their lives because they are underweight. Besides that, my man prefers to have things to grab onto...

It's harder to gain weight for underweight people than losing weight for overweight people. I read it somewhere online. I also remember it saying it's more unhealthy to be underweight than overweight which was surprising to me.

Over for sure. At least then I could eat whatever I want, whenever I want.

[Tunnel_Weeks]

Underweight. Always a better chance to pick up weight than lose it.

[Seppelson]

underweight because I would eat like I always eat and would gain a bit weight and look perfect

[scareth]

Overweight, because fuck you cold weather, I am my own Winter gear.

[JustCallMeLeon]

Underweight. Then i can eat junk like crazy and lift like a beast and create a solid physique. If i were to be overweight, i could easily lose the excess fat with just a treadmill but the excess skin would be an issue.

[Fitness-Fanatic]

Slightly overweight, but not fat.

People look more unhealthy if they are too thin, but are unhealthy if they are obese or extremely overweight

[madhatters4]

underweight. seems easier to gain weight than lose it

[rzvcam]

lol you are SO wrong. Search on google for ectomorph, endomorph and mezomorph body types.

[madhatters4]

@rzvcam those body types don't necessarily to a person's weight and ability to gain or lose it. they provide archetypes but an overweight person may still struggle to lose weight while an overweight person could more easily gain weight. i was underweight most of my life. from ages 6-30 i was consistently 5-15lbs underweight. i'd prefer that body and work to gain weight then trying to lose weight

perhaps you shouldn't be so dismissive on a subject with so much grey area

[rzvcam]

I'm the same :) Im underweight and its hard to gain because guess what? I'm an ectomorph! Please show me an overweight ectomorph and an underweight endomorph and i'll cut my balls off. The only ones who DO fit into what you said are mezomorphs (for example IF the mezomorph is already overweight he will have a hard time losing that body fat because it is A LOT of fat to lose).

Underweight as in anorexic or just a little below average?

[BeautifulPromisesx]

As someone who was on the other side, I would rather be underweight.

I'd rather be overweight. I feel really weak/fragile when I am underweight -even though now I am pretty close to it-.

[BigKing101]

Overweight. I'm a bodybuilder anyways and all the mass makes me obese on the BMI scale.

[Polkadotfroggy]

Overweight. I'm a little bit overweight now, not a lot, but I'm comfortable.

[Anonymous]

You'll live longer if you're a little underweight, it's less strain on your heart

[Sweepthelegjonny]

U may not like it but he's telling the truth

[dsrice]

Being overweight, I would rather be underweight.
